The Late Mrs. Elizabeth Gross.

From the Harper's Ferry Letter
in the last issue of the Democrat we
copy the following:
One by one we are losing the rem
nant left to us by the war of the no.
BILE population that constituted the
great pride Of our town before the
coming of the evil day of civil con-
tention. At an early hour of last
Tuesday Mrs. Elizabeth Cross, relict
of the late Mr.. Rein Cross, ended
her pilgrimage here below and entered
into the enjoyment of eternal rest
which God has promised to his be-
loved, and which her long life fruit
full in deeds of charity and gentle
piety so truly merited. She was born
in Philadelphia, in January, 1872,
but was brought to this place by her
parents while she was yet in her in
fancy, and here she has resided ever
since, excepting the years of the late
war. Less than six months ago we
helped 10 bear to his final resting
place her venerable partner through
nearly three score years of her life,
and on last Wednesday eve performed
the same sad office for HER, laying
her gently by the remains of the
manly form that had protected her so
long-her hearts first love whose
bride she is again in Heaven: andfrom
whom she will never more be separat-
ed. In the demise of this fine old
couple we have lost two of our
staunchest and most consistent
friends. Sorrowfully we now miss
the splendid specimen of an old-time
Virginia gentleman, tall far beyond
the average statue of man and straight
as an arrow even in extreme old age,
that always greeted us with a kindly
air that bespoke far more than the or
binary interest of an old neighbor,
and when we laid by his side, last
Wednesday, his venerable partner, we
felt, in common with this whole town,
that we had lost a neighbor whose
unbounded Christian charity and eX-
allied virtues shed a lustre on the
community and on her sex generally.
May the sod rest lightly on the hearts
that once beat with such generous
impulses, and may the faithful spirits
of our old friends forever dwell in
the most joyful of the many mansions
of their Lord!

Love, like the flowers. sown ever so gay,

There was a very pretty wedding
last Wednesday morning at 9 O'Clock,
at the residence of the BRIDES brother
in-law, Mr.. G. g. Allen, in No. 1851
S street, N. W., Washington City, d.
G. The contracting parties were Mr..
j. F. ENeLB, a promising newspaper
correspondent and a rising young
lawyer of the bar of this county, and
Miss MARY 1. UTLEY. a highly accom-
plished draughtman in the u. S.
Patent Office. The marriage was a
fashionably quiet one, there being
neither bridesmaids nor groomsmen
in attendance. AT the appointed hour
the bride entered leaning upon the
arm of the groom-elect, preceded by
the brides step-father and sister, and
in the presence of the relatives and
intimate friends of the families, the
impressive ceremony was solemized
by Rev. S. NJ. Newman, d. D., pastor
of the First Congregational Church.
The parlors were t~astefully decorated
with the beautiful varieties of chrys-
anthemums. The bride, n charming
brunette, wore a handsome travelling
costume of rich dark blue cloth, with
hat en- suit, and in her hand she carried
an exquisite bouquet of "cut'' flow
ers, composed of MarechalNeil rose
buds, m~aiden-hair ferns and smilax.
The groom vas becomingly dressed
in the conventional morning suit
Nh I@~,11 o,4l - ~, ,syaro fha r,aSo-
tents of many beautiful and useful
presents. After the ceremonyt the hap
py pair, having received warm greet
ings and best wishes for future hap
piness from their numerous friends,
took their departure on the B. & o.
train for West Virginia, where they
will spend the honeymoon with the
groom's parents near Shepherdstown.
May flowers eve bloom along their
pathway of life, and their hearts be
haloed with every sweet contentment
of matrimonial blisses!

A DARK HoRsE.-It is reported

A DARK HoRsE.-It is reported
that Col. w. p. Craighill, well
known here as a skillful engineer, a
master indeed in his profession, who
is only one or two from the
high Office of chief of engineers, may
be selected for that office by Prcsi-
dent Cleveland. Virginia would be
pleased to see Colonel Craighill be-
come Brigadier- General Craighill and
chief of engineers. We take it that
this is one of the offices for which
there can be no personal electioneering
DONE. Nevertheless it is allowable
for his friends to say that his APP
pointment would crafty our people.

The stable, granary and another
out-buiIding belonging to Mrs. Han
nah Heidwohl, of this place, were
burned about noon last Friday. Fire
was first discovered issuing from the
front of the large stable, adjacent to
the Main street bridge, and in a very
short space of time the three build
ings named were enveloped in flames
SO quickly, indeed, that n horse
and two hogs, belonging to Mr.. Ran
dolph Morgan, could not be taken
out by those who got there almost in
stantly, but persisted in the fire.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
is supposed 10 have been accidental.
The losses fall heavily upon both
Mrs. Heidwohl and Mr.. Morgan,
neither of whom had their property
insured. The effective work of the
fire department, with a providential
comparative calm, doubtless saved a
large portion of the town from de-
s%truction. AS it was, 4 very slight
southwesterly breeze carried large
particles of the light burning shingles
over other houses in the neighbor-
hood, and at least nine other different
buildings became ignitcd. In the case
of one of thcse-the Johnson building,
n large wooden structure on the cor
ncr of Liberty and West strccts-the
fire had almost gotten too far for con-
troll in that way when it was reached
My persons with buckets of water and
extinguished. Buildings ignitcd other
than those consumed and the Johnson
house were the dwellings of Mrs.

Welsh and 3. F. Dorsey, the stable

Cured a couple of hours later, the
strong wind then blowing from the
west would have swept fully half of
the town, and no available means
could have stayed its progress until
many thousands of dollars worth of
property would have been destroyed.

The Kansas School Trouble.

In our last issue we mentioned the
attempt of the coIored people at Fort
Scott, Kansas, to force themselves into
the white schools, and the trouble which
resulted. The case was taken into court.
and Judge French has rendered a
a lengthy decision denying an appli-
cation made by colored man, Reeves,
for mandamus to compel the admission
of his children to the schools provided
for white children. Judge French held
that the facts admitted in the argument
of the case show that equal facilities
are provided for both white and colored
children, and that under such state of
facts the control and direction of the
schools rests solely in the hands of the
school board, which may direct within
its discretion what school each child in
the city shall attend.
The School Board is Republican, and
the colored people are wondering why
the members thereof have refused to
put into practice what they are in the
habit of preaching.

Female Education in Mississippi

President A. ID. McVoy, of the East
Mississippi Female College at Meridian
has done the friends of educational
progress in Mississippi service by a
publication in the New Orleans Plea.
yltne, designed to correct errors of other
correspondents in regard to the female
schools of the State He says:
The history of female edu cation in
this State, think, compares favorably
with that of her sister States, and hith-
erto the educated women of the State,
who have graduated from these institu-
tions, have never been considered infe
rior in culture to the educated women
of other States. These institutions have
been pioneers in female education in the
State, and have done noble work for
the culture of women and surely ought
not to be stigmatized as "flagrantly
superficial and aiming at display"
Some of these institutions are fully
abreast with the demand of the age for
a liberal and practical education, have
able faculties, do good and honest work
and graduate thoroughly educated wo-
men, who take important positions and
help constitute the highest circles of
culture. Some of them have added the
industrial arts, teaching everything that
can be taught women IN these modern
times
